3PL FAQ’s

What exactly is a 3PL?

Third-Party Logistic companies provide services that enable you to outsource supply chain operations such as warehousing, shipping and transportation, inventory management, and order fulfillment. Partnering with a 3PL can save you time and money by freeing up resources that allow you to focus on developing and selling your products.

What separates Sam-Son Logistics from other 3PL companies?

The majority of our North American customers are doing business from Canada to U.S. or U.S. to Canada. Cross-border supply chain operations is our area of expertise. We understand the challenges and know how to overcome them when it comes to helping North American companies expand beyond their own domestic market. Our North American customers know no borders!

Is Sam-Son Logistics a licensed customs broker?

No, we are NOT a licensed customs broker. After nearly 50 years, we have established close working relationships with customs brokers on both sides of the border. We will work with and consult with your current customs broker. If you currently don’t have a customs broker, we will work to help you obtain one.
